Reddit's pausing its paid subreddit plans and focusing on 'making Reddit the go-to place for search,' presumably because we're all adding 'reddit' to everything we Google anyway

    Yes, the site with the famously bad search is going to be the place to search.

      Why fix your search program when Google will just archive everything and do a better job indexing content for searching?

    Huffman said that “60 million seekers land on Reddit in search of better answers for their questions” every day.

    I’ll translate this part for you:

    “I’m a greedy pig boy and to all the advertisers out there come and astroturf your products on MY website, most of our traffic is bots now but don’t mind that because we’re in on it. I’d just like to say again I’m Steve Huffman and I’m a greedy pig boy.”

    Reddit’s search was google. Now google sucks and reddit thinks it can replace it. No way, reddits search sucks and its quality has significantly declined
